New “Komatsu Nishimachi” Stop Added on the New Route
The new route is called the “JR Koshienguchi–via the Ozone Line–Naruohama/Mukogawa Danchi Minami/Takasu Higashi Line.” Quite a mouthful. One thing to note is that it does not go through Hanshin Koshien.

Compared with the previous route that went via Koshien-suji, passed through Hanshin Koshien, and ran along National Route 43 and Rinko Line, the new route will shorten travel time by 5 to 7 minutes. It is also expected to help ease traffic congestion around “LaLaport Koshien,” which is often seen mainly on weekends.

Nishinomiya has Hankyu, JR, and Hanshin lines running east-west, but the railway tracks and crossings have acted as barriers, making north-south travel inconvenient. With the Hanshin Railway now elevated, this new Hanshin Bus route that makes good use of the Ozone Line route could bring significant benefits.
